“Now let’s talk about euthanasia, also known as assisted suicide,....”

Euthanasia and “assisted suicide” are not synonymous, and we should always be careful to use the terms precisely — otherwise, the death cultists will succeed in further obfuscating the issues.

There are three types of euthanasia:

1. Voluntary — the patient is competent and asks for it. This is the only type of euthanasia that’s AKA “assisted suicide”.

2. Involuntary — the patient is competent, but is not consulted before the act. We usually call this “murder” now.

3. Non-voluntary — the patient is not competent enough to make the request.

The article mentions the prevalence of non-voluntary euthanasia in Holland: “Ninety-seven people, however, were helped to die by their doctors because they had dementia.”

Of course, even “voluntary” euthanasia is often non-voluntary. Just as someone can be talked down from suicide, many can be talked into suicide. When health-care budgets need balancing; expect a spike in cases of non-voluntary and involuntary euthanasia.

For some reason these people want to play God, decide who dies.

I do not see them wishing dementia hit Ted Kennedy to be euthanized when he had his cancer.

It is all money exploitation greed politics.
